Mr. Chair, just so everybody understands, this proposed rule from the Biden administration requires major contractors to annually disclose scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and to establish science-based target requirements. Let me tell you what scope 1 is: greenhouse gas emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the reporting entity. If I am raising wool, am I supposed to follow around behind each and every sheep that runs through the pasture to check the flatulence that they are releasing from their derrieres? This is absolutely ridiculous, and this is the kind of thing that the other side of the aisle is requiring. I am not going to the south end of a northbound sheep to try to find out how much is being emitted. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
